Prevention of addictive behavior of youth students in today's conditions with the help of psychological and pedagogical training

Abstract

In the article, psychological and pedagogical training is considered as a method of active psychological correction of addictive behavior in student youth. Addictive behavior is not a stable entity. Socialization defects at the stage of adolescence and young adulthood lead to unfavorable (abnormal) personality formation. This manifests itself, in particular, in the emergence of negative psychological neoplasms, addictive manifestations in behavior, the absence or loss of psychosocial identity, deformed needs and, as a result, the emergence of addiction to tobacco, alcohol, drugs, etc. Personality development is a multifaceted and multi-determined process. One of the components of this process is the development of self-awareness – the idea of oneself in its various manifestations. The principle of an individual approach in working with young people characterized by various forms of deviant behavior can be implemented if we take into account the peculiarities of the individual's psychodynamic properties, which to a large extent genetically determine the formation of his temperament and character. The comprehensive approach developed by us, taking into account fundamental psychological and pedagogical provisions, allowed us to experimentally substantiate the possibilities of a combined pedagogical and psychological influence on the individual for the purpose of psychoprophylaxis and correction of deviant forms of behavior, development of vital qualities in them, optimization of the emotional and volitional sphere. Under the conditions of training, student youth search for alternative (socially acceptable) ways to satisfy their own needs and interact with others. It is early prevention, i.e. prevention of deviant behavior, that has the most effective result.
